too might have given up had he agreed to leave his post when very ill with malaria and pressed by the Governor General to do so when he called with his steamer at Malek. But Shaw believed that if he had done so that would have been either the end or at least considerable delay in getting the work established. Shaw continued to make the East Bank Bor Dinka his speciality throughout his mission. To Malual and Malek was added an outstation at Gwalla about ten miles inland from Malek. ’Macuor’ of the Dinka Shaw was very dedicated to the Dinka people and learnt the language well.
